PM KISAN Yojana: Step-by-step guide for beneficiaries to change name as per Aadhaar card

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has disbursed Rs 16,000 crore under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme (PM-KISAN) from Karnataka's Belagavi. This is the 13th installment amount which is released through direct benefits transfer (DBT) to more than 8 crore beneficiaries.

Under the PM Kisan Scheme, an amount of Rs 6000 per year is released in three 4-monthly installments of Rs 2,000 each directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries. 

 The 11th and 12th installments under the Scheme were given in May and October last year. With the release of the 13th instalment, the government has continued its commitment to support India`s farmers and help them achieve their livelihood goals. 

The PM-KISAN Scheme has already provided significant benefits to farmers across the country, and this latest installment will further boost their incomes and contribute to the growth of the agriculture sector.

PM Modi launched the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Scheme in 2019. 

The Scheme aims to provide income support to all landholder farmer families across the country with cultivable land, subject to specific exclusions. 

Under the Scheme, an amount of Rs 6000 per year is released in three installments of Rs 2000 each directly into the beneficiaries' bank accounts. All landholding farmer families in the country are eligible under PM KISAN, subject to certain exclusion criteria.
